One Week Out!!!

Hi everyone! I have now officially been in Mexico for a week! It is so crazy! Things are going really well, but it turns out that Mexico City driving is definitely conducive to car sickness! But other than that things are pretty good. I went to church on sunday and that was definitely an experience! Pretty much no one speaks english here which is really hard and it took a long time to find anyone at church who spoke any at all! I found a guy who spoke enough to get me to the right class, a sister missionary who spoke enough to find out I spoke french, and speak that with me, and then finally a guy missionary who was pretty much fluent, and, might I add, quite attractive. So things got worked out pretty well. I also have gone swimming twice, learned a little Spanish, and found out that everyone here is really, really nice. Every time I meet someone new it is like, Beunos Dias! And a kiss on the cheek. Which I think is like the coolest custom ever, I think I will come back to America kissing everyone's cheeks. So sweet!

Mexico...

Hi! Oh man I am so excited to be able to write on my blog, I admit, I am a little homesick for ENGLISH, even french would be nice, but still I am learning a little bit at a time but still learning. I have been getting those like homesick stomach aches, you know? like at night time when I am getting ready to sleep (I know this is ridiculous since this is only my second night here) I have to like read a few chapters in my scriptures and pray for a long time, and then it is okay. Really though, I love it. It is definitely different but not in a bad way at all. I have decided to try to become the me-est me I can be, thanks to the advice of a friend and as part of that I have decided to try everything, food wise at least like for example, I have now eaten Sushi (I actually like it! It was Salmon and it did not taste fishy at all! Amazing) Some sort of beet soup, Ratatouille, and a few new herbal teas. I am excited to go to church on Sunday, even though it will be in Spanish and I won´t be able to understand as well as I would like, It will be nice to experience something as familiar as church, I am hoping that my bishop will speak English so I can talk to him and hopefully get some visiting and home teachers set up. I have taken some really great pictures, but as is my luck, I have forgotten my USB cord for my camera and so I don´t know exactly what I will do. I miss you all and I hope that this finds you well!

Oh My Goodness!!!! MEXICO!!!

Oh my gosh! I am really going to Mexico, to live, for a year! I have a passport and a plane ticket and I am SO excited! I leave on Wednesday of next week, I am like so crazy busy packing and getting ready to go, it is insane! I have to figure out what in the world I need to take with me, I'm dying of excitement! Wow... Sorry this is quite a lot of excited talking, I will write a more eloquent post when I have more thoroughly collected my thoughts.
